A beautiful smile can make a dramatic difference in a person's level of life enjoyment. Whether or not you realize it, people subconsciously and consciously react to your smile.
A genuine smile conveys warmth and friendliness. When you meet people in any manner, you should openly smile because it will create a friendly, welcome atmosphere. Not only that, but smiling is contagious - if you smile at somebody, they will typically respond with a smile right back at you.
While it would be great if everyone felt comfortable to smile whenever they interact with another person, not everyone feels that way. A lot of people are self conscious of their teeth and are reluctant to smile. Whether you have missing teeth, stained teeth, chipped or broken teeth, or if they're crooked, a dentist can help you improve your smile. Most dentists will provide a free, initial consultation for new clients. If you've ever considered improving your smile, put together a short list of local dentists and give them a call. Chances are great you'll find one that offers a free initial consultation, or at the very least you can find one that offers a highly discounted initial visit + xrays for new patients.
You shouldn't be reluctant to get your teeth looked at by a dentist. An aesthetically enhanced smile can have a dramatic impact on a person's smile, especially if the person's smile was somehow flawed prior. Even if you don't have insurance, you can still get work done. While it may take awhile to find a dentist that is open to it, there are dentists out there who offer payment plans for those who need it. Remember, dentists are doctors, and doctors became doctors for a reason: to help people!
